RBC-TSI1 Versatile Interface Installation Manual

Product Description

The RBC-TSI1 is a versatile interface for Toshiba air conditioning units, offering a wide range of external control facilities. The unit attaches to the TCC-NET A+B network. The interface is network powered and may be used with or without a remote controller being present. Up to eight indoor units may be monitored and controlled as a group by a single RBC-TSI1.

Hardware Interface:

Six analogue control inputs selectable as resistance or 0-10v D.C. Two relay outputs for ‘Run’ and ‘Error’ rated 24v

0.1A

Serial Interface:

RS-485 serial Modbus connection with slave addresses from 1 to 254 and configurable baud rates and parity. Modbus may be used for monitoring and control or to allow the operation of up to sixteen units in a ‘Master/Slave’ configuration.

Operating Modes:

Several modes of operation are available including special modes for energy saving and hotel applications. Modes are selected by a link and bit switches.

AVAILABLE MODES:

Standard operation with the facility to interconnect up to 16 interfaces as a ‘Master/Slave’ group.

It is recommended that volt-free contacts or switch mechanisms connected to S4, S5 and S6 have gold plated contacts to ensure low resistance circuit

Resistances should be within +/-250 ohms of the quoted value. Open circuit is R>200kΩ. Voltages should be within +/- 0.25V of the quoted value. Open circuit for V<1V. Under open circuit conditions the input will revert to its default value. S1 in resistance mode is designed to be operated using a linear 10kΩ variable resistance.

Appendix A: - Definitions

The following nomenclature is used throughout this document.

Modbus Holding Registers H-nn:

These are the function 3/6/16 registers with offset nn. They are the same as registers 40000 + nn + 1 Function 3 is used to read the registers Functions 6 and 16 may be used to send values to them.

Modbus Input Registers I-nn:

These are the function 4 registers with offset nn. They are the same as registers 30000 + nn + 1 Function 4 is used to read the registers These registers may not be written to.

e.g. H-15 is equivalent to 400016 and is accessed for read/write

by Function 3/6/ 16 using offset 15. I-24 is equivalent to 300025 and is accessed for read by Function 4 using offset 24.

Hardware Inputs:-

This means either the analogue inputs A1 to A6 or the internal registers H-51 to H-59, depending which set is selected by switch S1-6.

The analogue inputs A1 to A6 may be configured as Voltage (0-10v) or Resistance inputs.

Switch Settings Diagrams:-

The switch setting diagrams in this document use the following convention:

In the diagram opposite:

S1-1 to S1-4 are shown in the OFF position S1-5 & S1-6 are shown in the ON position S1-7 & S1-8 are shown as selectable

S2 is shown Unlinked

Selectable switches will have their functions described.

Switch Settings:

S1-2: Voltage or resistance inputs for A1 to A6

OFF = Resistance (for A5 active means linked to 0v) ON = Voltage (for A5 active means supplied with > 6.5v)

S1-3: Enable sending of parameters to slave units 1 to 15

OFF = Do not send ON = Send

A standard Master unit will accept hardware inputs from either A1-A6 or H-51 to H-55.

If S1-3 is set On then the unit will periodically send its parameters to standard Slave units with addresses 1 to 15

A standard Slave unit will accept Hardware Inputs

It will also accept values sent by a Standard Master unit if its address is in the range 1 to 15.

Lock function:

If any parameters are locked using the A6 /H-55 input then these parameters Will be locked to:-

The Hardware Inputs settings on the Slave if S1-3 is Off The values from the Master if S1-3 is On
